WILDLIFE - PRAIRIE, MARSH, AND WOODLAND

In Search of the Wild

Eagles, hawks, herons, prairie chickens on the booming grounds, bison, deer in fog. Most of these took hours of sitting still, at a distance the animal chose. A few took years of coming back. I is an ongoing pursuit rather than a finished collection - the next trip is for wildlife too.

BACKROADS, CHAPELS, AND OPEN COUNTRY

Landscapes

Chalk bluffs, prairie chapels, waterfalls, and the long light at either end of the day. The plains do not hand anything over quickly.
